Descripción
This project was formulated to provide technical assistance to a programme entitled “Strategic Support for Food Security and Nutrition Project” (SSFSNP), funded by the Global Agriculture and Food Security Program (GAFSP ). The SSFSNP project had four components: ( i ) strengthened public services; ii) community driven nutrition sensitive agriculture; (iii) sustainable and inclusive market driven partnerships; and (iv) project management. It was implemented in four northern provinces of Lao People’s Democratic Republic, where rates of undernutrition and food insecurity are high, and where the most common economic activities agriculture and the extraction of non timber forest products (NTFPs) are negatively impacted by climate change, land concessions, and unsustainable farming practices and natural resource use. This project, known as the Technical Assistance for Strategic Support for Food Security and Nutrition Project (TA SSFSNP), was designed to support the implementation of components i and iii of the SSFSNP through four distinct Outputs focusing on: the development of a forage programme , the establishment of a project management information system ( ProMIS ), the analysis of seven value chains, and a review of contract farming in the country.
